I think we all need a definitive answer on this.

I found something interesting. Can anyone comment on the piece at the very bottom of this page?

I just got my emanage installed 2 weeks ago and at the time of install we called Greddy to ask them about this.......they said that at this time the emanage ignition harness is incompatible with the evo 8. However they did say that they were working on a firmware update that should be out very soon and will correct the problem.

I wish there was a good answer. I've had the ignition harness installed on my VIII since July. No problems at all, even after leaving the key on/engine not running for 40 minutes (one theory of ''when" it happens). There are other people like me that have had no problems and there are others still that have gone through 2 or more sets of coils.
